[PATCH printk 17/18] printk: Use an output descriptor struct for emit

[John Ogness]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To prepare for a new console infrastructure that is independent of the
console BKL, wrap the output mode into a descriptor struct so the new
infrastrucure can share the emit code that dumps the ringbuffer record
into the output text buffers.
